Long-term surgical outcomes of pediatric retinal detachment associated with primary congenital glaucoma.

Purpose: Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is an extremely rare disease with an incidence of one in 10,000 live births. Increasing axial length due to PCG predisposes to retinal thinning and retinal detachment (RD). The present study aims to determine the long-term surgical outcomes of pediatric RD associated with PCG.

Assessing the prognostic value of HALP score in peripheral artery disease: Correlation with lesion severity and long-term mortality.

IntroductionPeripheral artery disease (PAD) poses a growing clinical challenge due to an aging population, despite advances in treatment methods. Various scoring systems have emerged to predict high-risk patients, including the HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet) score, known for predicting prognosis in cancers and stroke. This study assesses the HALP score's relation to lesion severity and long-term mortality in PAD patients.

Multimodal Imaging for Evaluation and Quantification of Atrophy Progression in Extensive Macular Atrophy with Pseudodrusen.

Aim: To present the atrophy progression rate with fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with extensive macular atrophy with a pseudodrusen-like appearance.

Methods: Eight patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of diffuse macular atrophy accompanied by pseudodrusen were included. Medical records, FAF, and OCT images at consecutive follow-ups were reviewed.

Global Longitudinal Strain score predicts subclinical cardiac involvement of multiple sclerosis patients.

Background: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than the general population, but the data are limited. Evaluation with strain echocardiography, a new echocardiographic method, can provide more objective data to evaluate global and segmental left ventricular systolic functions. Left ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) may be useful in demonstrating subclinical myocardial dysfunction in MS, therefore we planned such a study.

Ability of CHA2DS2-VASc/R2CHA2DS2-VASc Scores to Predict Complications Related to Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.

Background: Globally, the number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether CHADS-VASc and RCHADS-VASc scores are predictive of CIED-related complications.

Methods: Our investigation was carried out with a multicenter retrospective design.
